The winter season for high school sports begins this week. The boys basketball team begins play today against Rocky Mountain High School in the Fossil Ridge Tipoff Classic. The girls basketball team heads to Cheyenne, Wyo., for games Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the McDonalds Classic. The two-time defending state champion wrestling team opens competition on Saturday with the Wizard Duals.

Here is a quick look at the winter sports teams:

Boys basketball

 Coach: Dustin Duncan, sixth season

 2011-12 record: 17-6 (12-2 Tri-Valley), lost in second round of playoffs

 Outlook: Well have strength in numbers. We have a lot of kids that can help out in different ways. We have a lot of height. Should have a pretty good defense that will lead into transition offense.

 Outlook: We have good quickness and three returning starters. Our bench will have to come along as the year progresses. Losing only two players off team from last year and gaining valuable experience at the state tournament will be a big asset for the team this year.
